This is why I have a full time job. We don't need the money. I need the sanity. I'm not at ALL cut out for full time parenting. |
You are pathetic. Don’t procreate further if you are not cut out for parenting. And op- really? You had THREE offspring that you are responsible for. Who would you like to dump them on so you can take a two week break? |
I am a SAHM of 3 and see absolutely nothing wrong with wanting a break. Husband and I went away once a year during the early chaos years, just the two of us (usually 4-5 days). But if OP wants a weekend in a hotel by herself, more power to her (just make sure your husband gets the same option, OP - fair is fair).
It's good for kids to learn that other adults (dad, grandma, a special aunt) are capable of taking care of them and care for them and can be trusted. FYI husband and I feel no need to travel without our kids now (youngest is in elementary). We can go places with kids clubs and our kids are more fun to travel with now anyway. But I absolutely remember how hard the baby/toddler ages are and how much those vacations meant for my sanity. |
I only gave birth to one. We adopted a second. And I'm not pathetic - I'm smart. Would you think more highly if I were a miserable and awful stay at home mom who screamed at her kids all the time and ignored them when not screaming? |
I do this every year - make sure you book two nights - one goes too fast and with two you have an entire day in between ALL to yourself. Massage, facial, binge watching shows. It's the best! |
I’m the first one who posted about this and I cannot recommend it more highly. Get a spa service. Watch bad shows on your iPad or pay-per-view movies. Drink a bottle of wine in your room. Sit by the fire in the lobby and people watch. It is amazing. |
Any suggestions where? I know of salamander. |
I’m saying it’s pathetic to say you are not cut out for parenting and then proceed to multiply. Of that is what you did, yeah you are pathetic. |
You are a huge loser ^^. We all need a break. |
This. Being attached at the hip to your child isn’t healthy for you OR the child. There is no reason that a woman can’t have her own identity outside of her kids. |
I went to Landsdowne one year and it was nice. The spa services were great and the room service was tasty. It rained the whole time I was there so I didn't see the grounds at all but I was actually fine with that. |
I hear ya. I sometimes fantasize about divorce: 50/50 or even every other weekend and summers sounds so appealing sometimes. Ok lots of times! |
I get trips alone every other year or so and it is THE BEST. |
Yes! For us we have grandma who used to take the oldest since she was weaned for a weekend night And a Saturday every month. She still does (even more often) but now I have a newborn so no escape for a bit.
I love my kids but also love time alone in a quiet house or a couple hours to read a book that are not carved from my sleep time. I also woh so that's a big break most of the time anyway. |
NP I know you can’t see it, because you’re blinded by your superiority, but original PP is NOT the pathetic one here. |
